1 / 24Glovers Cottage
Ludlow, Shropshire
A two bedroom cottage for three in Ludlow itself, with an enclosed garden at the front, a wood burner and one dog welcome.
The garden here is at the front, not behind the house, which is an odd arrangement that suits a dog very well. It is enclosed, a charcoal BBQ and some furniture on it, and it faces the street rather than hiding, so the one dog on the booking spends the week watching Ludlow go past. Glovers Cottage takes three in the town itself, dog friendly, a double and a small single over one bathroom with a wood burner below. A front garden is a spectator sport for an animal that likes to know what is happening.
It is a small cottage and being inside a town is what it is for. The freezer lives in a shed outside, the sort of arrangement an old town house makes and nobody minds by Tuesday. Board games, a burner, one bathroom and three people: it does not stretch to more, and one dog fits it exactly.
Ludlow is small enough that everything in it is a walk, so a week here happens on foot, one dog on the lead through the streets and off it the moment they run out. It suits three people who wanted to be in a town rather than looking at one from a hill, which is a different holiday from a barn down a lane and for some weeks the better one.
Across the Teme, Whitcliffe Common climbs to a ledge with the whole of Ludlow laid out under it, and it is open ground, so nothing up there is fenced. Mortimer Forest runs over the hill behind, old woodland holding a herd of long-haired fallow deer found nowhere else. One dog gets a river walk out of the town and trees at the top of it.

Is Glovers Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Glovers Cottage welcomes one dog per booking. It's a small two-bedroom cottage in Ludlow town centre, with an enclosed front garden where your dog can settle in and watch the world go by.
Are dogs allowed at Glovers Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What's clear is that the cottage is set up with a dog in mind — the enclosed garden and easy access to walks make it a practical choice whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Glovers Cottage with my dog?
The cottage accommodates one dog, so it's not suitable for multi-dog households. It's a compact town-centre property, so your dog will be on the lead through Ludlow's streets — but Whitcliffe Common across the River Teme and Mortimer Forest nearby both offer good off-lead ground once you're out of town. One practical note: the freezer is in an outside shed, which is just the kind of quirk an old town house comes with.
